At the NZI Sustainable Business Network Awards last night there was a new category called 'Going circular' - recognising work in the circular economy field, which is all about keeping resources re-used continuously.

The winner of the Going Circular category, Wishbone Design studio, came up with a practicable product using that idea - a children's bike, made from 100% recycled carpet.

Jennifer McIver from Wishbone tells us about how it works.

For NZ Live this week we're visited by Tennessee band The Danberrys who are joined by New Zealander Vanessa McGowan.

The Danberrys, who are made up of Ben DeBerry and Dorothy Daniel, play an indie-folk style of music which draws on influences from bluegrass, country and blues.

Vanessa is playing upright bass.

The group will play four songs and talk to Jesse about their tour which starts tonight in Muriwai and travels through some of New Zealand's off the beaten track spots including Tokomaru Bay and Barrytown on the West Coast.

The Ohau Rock Daisy, or Pachystegia (which means "thickly covered" - referring to the dense felty hairs covering the leaf undersides and stems) is an endemic genus to New Zealand and is confined to North Canterbury and South Marlborough. It's habitat was badly affected by the Kaikoura quake and efforts are underway to replant the rock daisy on the bedrock bluffs where it thrives.
